Question of generation SBOM about tools-python HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi @Donkey-Hao, thanks for your interest in the spdx python-tools!
This library is not meant to automatically generate SBOMs based on some source code or binary. Instead, it gives you the tools to handle the SPDX format in Python so that you can more easily write an "SBOM generator" yourself, if you want.

from tools-python.

Hello, I haven't seen the usage of generation SBOM in readme. Whether the tool can generate SBOM by analyzing files such as python\java\C\C++ binary or source code? If it could, how to use the tool?

I would be grateful if you could answer my question.

I am a user of this tool, however I don't know how to use the tool to generate a SBOM of finished project or some project I downloaded from github.
